Its not always that black and white though Kirk, a lot of people that want lower taxes also believe that social programs (for example) should be slashed to the bone or eliminated all together. You wont find many people in the "my taxes are too high" crowd that also support getting as many government goodies as possible...unless it benefits them directly and then they usually don't mind paying (roads, military or police for example). Most of those folks want a smaller govt, less social programs ect ect and believe they are either wasteful or unnecessary and therefore the taxes they pay to support them are wasteful and unnecessary leading to all sorts of ideas and theories about who should have to pay for what.
Its not always as simple as Americans just wanting something for nothing.
